Mount & Blade: Wind of War

"Send 5,000 Berserkers from the second unit of the left wing to the battlefield, and make sure to capture the city wall completely."

"Put our reserve slayer unit on the battlefield... We definitely have a chance to capture this city."

Outside the Lonely Mountain Castle, on the battlefield, the ancient orc commander, who was the deputy general of the expeditionary army, said this while riding a warhorse.

The orcs call themselves a strong war race, which is not completely self-boasting. Whether it is racial culture or military settings, the orcs have indeed done quite well in this aspect of war.

The orc culture worships individual bravery, but when the scale of the war reaches a certain order of magnitude, even a legendary strongman can hardly directly influence the outcome of a large-scale war. At this time, the commander's command ability and experience become extremely important.

Therefore, the configuration of the Hoffman Empire's large army is often that a high-level hero general is accompanied by one or two strategic command-type deputy generals. People who are good at planning often make few decisions, that is, they think too much and are prone to lack of decisiveness in doing things.

Therefore, this configuration is very suitable, allowing the orc army of the Hoffman Empire to maintain high initiative and strong offensiveness while also having a considerable degree of caution and thoroughness.

Some people may think that Mokali's 100-cavalry raid is too stupid.

But in fact, it is not. This plan itself has a very high chance of success. Once successful, it is a classic success of stealing the city. Although it hit the secondary car by mistake in the end, causing the plan to fail, if Mokali succeeded in killing Rhodes, then it would have achieved greater success. However, Mokali failed in the end. It failed to kill Rhodes, but was dragged to death by the opponent.

And Mokali's deputy general, General Dals, is a commander with rich war experience. Although he was injured in the war with the human kingdom Raymond, resulting in hidden disabilities, he will never be able to make any breakthroughs in his personal cultivation in his life.

However, the military of the Hoffman Empire still attaches great importance to it, otherwise it would not let it serve as Mokali's deputy general.

Through his rich war experience, Dalles judged that the combat power displayed by the human army of Lonely Mountain Castle in front of him was basically in line with his own judgment, although the ogre army fighting wildly on the wall was slightly unexpected.

However, these violent ogres made Dalles think that he had seen the opponent's cards more clearly.

"If there is no other way, which general would be willing to use such an uncontrolled alien army?"

Normally, no, but Dalles could not know that Rhodes had the talent of the ancient god, and he was secretly accumulating levels for the stronghold army.

"Mokali relied on his own strength, which was too risky. Before the plan was carried out, I reminded him that he must be cautious and not take too many risks, but it didn't listen to me. In fact, with the military advantage of the Hoffman Empire, we are fully confident of winning the battle with a frontal attack."

As the troops were deployed one by one, although the losses were increasing, the walls, bastions, and arrow towers of the city in front of him were also being captured one by one, just like a beautiful woman with jade bones and ice skin, swaying her waist in front of a strong man, taking off her clothes one by one in a graceful and beautiful posture.

As a man, facing this situation, can you say that you can't do it? I'll do it to her even if I risk my life!

The ancient orc berserker is a third-level and ninth-level soldier. It is an offensive soldier. It is a natural warrior. Wherever it passes, blood flows.

There is nothing in this world that excites them more than naked hand-to-hand combat and bloody fighting. On the battlefield, they will abandon all rationality and transform into pure killing machines. Swinging the mace and running fast, leaving only the bloody corpses of the enemies wherever they pass. Most ordinary warriors can only fight one against one, while the ancient orc berserker can fight two or more with his terrible martial arts ability and brutal character.

Soldier skill 1: Violent blood, a racial talent commonly possessed by northern orcs, can accumulate violent rage in battle, and gain some attributes and skill power when it reaches a certain level.

Soldier skill 2: Bloodthirsty Assault, gradually increase the attack speed during the battle, when the violent rage reaches the limit, the soldier's attack speed is twice that of the normal state.

Ancient orc berserker, ancient orc slaughterer, General Dals is not completely unaware that he is losing control, but the warlike orc blood pushes and urges him to complete this gamble.

"Even if there is any conspiracy, as long as we attack the city, any conspiracy of humans is meaningless in front of the 50,000 orc army."

"The current situation is absolutely correct. Humans can't hold on. After fighting with the human race for so many years, if I make a wrong judgment on such a thing, then I'd rather die. I accept it."

After such a thought flashed through his mind, General Dals, the commander of the ancient orc advance army, could no longer maintain calm and rational thinking. He also threw out his last trump card troops: those were twenty Cyclops.

This is like a dragon. They are no longer regular soldiers.

The real giant, like a dragon, is a legendary creature of adult legend. The Cyclops of the Hoffman Empire is the creation of the national teacher Kedar who secretly practiced dark evil arts. Although it is much weaker than a normal giant, it can be controlled and can obey orders. It can basically be regarded as an elite extraordinary creature with a high level of level 4.

Ordinary normal soldiers of various races cannot resist it at all.

These creatures controlled by dark magic have no sense of pain and fear no death. They even desire death. Only killing can give them some comfort of life.

"Attack!"

Accompanied by the order of General Dals, who was wearing a black crystal ring, the cyclops holding big wooden sticks rumbled towards the city wall.

At this time, the gate of Lonely Mountain Castle had been opened from the inside by the ancient orc violent man who had just entered the city. Although there was still resistance in the city, Dals believed that the terrifying combat power of twenty cyclops could bring him the final victory.

At this moment, above the sky, the Griffin Knights of Lonely Mountain Castle were still fighting madly with the orcs' Wyvern Knights. At this time, both sides had already ignored casualties. However, although the Wyvern Knights had been managed by the northern orcs for a hundred years, it was impossible for all of them to gather here. In addition, with Kress's personal bravery and calm command, although the city defense below was broken, the air supremacy advantage in the air, Lonely Mountain Castle was still firmly in its own hands.

"Hmph, what's the use? I've already taken down the city, won't those griffins come down forever?"

Because it has no air superiority, it can't know about this General Dals.

Inside the breached wall of Lonely Mountain Castle, there is another equally thick and solid wall.

This design has never appeared in this world. There are walls, arrow towers, and bastions in this world, but there has never been a urn design in this world before this battle.

This is limited by the productivity of this world. Building a wall itself is very expensive and consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time. Building a wall that is high enough and thick enough is already daunting. It seems unnecessary to build another one from the inside.

Or, the military strategists in this world are not unable to think of the role of the urn, but after calculating the cost, they think it does not meet the highest cost-effectiveness. It is better to recruit more soldiers with this money.

The defensive function of the wall is to resist the direct attack of the enemy, and on the wall, the enemy can be attacked remotely with bows and crossbows, which also has a damage bonus effect.

The defensive function of the arrow tower is to resist the enemy's long-range attack, so that our archers can effectively attack you, but it is difficult for you to attack our archers.

The defensive function of the bastion is to change the fortress from a convex polygon to a concave polygon. This improvement makes it possible for the attacker to expose more than one bastion face (usually 2-3) to any point of the castle, and the defender can use cross shooting for multiple strikes.

There is no urn defense design in this world because it is too expensive and the cost-effectiveness of defense seems to be too low, but it will definitely be invented in the future with the development of magic.

Because there is a spell to turn mud into stone in magic, the emergence of this earth spell will greatly improve the construction productivity of the entire continent, so that the city defense of the entire continent will get a defense upgrade, and the construction cost of stone wall castles will be greatly reduced.

Of course, it will still be very expensive, and hiring a magician is also expensive, it is only relatively reduced.

The reason why Lonely Mountain Castle was able to build a defensive fortification of the city half a step ahead of the times was because it had earned huge wealth in the previous grain trade, and because of the slave system, the labor cost was particularly low.

As time went on, General Dals gradually became confused and difficult to understand why all the troops he had invested rushed into the city, just like throwing stones into the lake, only spreading some ripples and waves, and there was no other reaction.

Of course, there would be no other reaction, because the two layers of the walls of Lonely Mountain Castle, in fact, they did not break into them at all, but were turned into a bird in a cage by the defense system of the city.
